Avery Cardinal Dulles, R.I.P.

Avery Cardinal Dulles died today. I saw him once, across the room, at a lecture in New York, and that's the closest I ever came to him, but his essays are marvels of careful thinking and generous intellectual engagement. There's a big list of them over at First Things, where I'm sure we'll be finding out about how Cardinal Dulles chose to live his life.

I highly recommend his essay “Saving Ecumenism from Itself,” from 2007.
